So, you have an awesome idea and you’ve decided to develop a mobile app?
That’s definitely the right step: the mobile app market is growing each day
(don’t just take our word for it, follow this link
for some market research from Flurry)
so let’s not delay, the sooner you get it out there, the sooner you can get Users
and generating revenue!

One of the first considerations is which platform you should choose for your app.

IOS and Android account for 94% of the market

So unless you have any particular reasons to target other
mobile platforms, that captures the vast number of potential Users.

Many of our clients start with one or other in order to reduce
the complexity and cost of development. It also means that they can watch
how the users react to the app and if any enhancements and improvements
are required they’re changing one platform rather than two.

At Webcarving we create native iOS and Android apps that work seamlessly on phones, tablets and wearables.
We specialise in client-server app development, but we don’t limit ourselves to those,
so we do all types of apps except games (our rule is that we only do what we do best).

If you are going to start with one platform, which one?

The location of your target users might determine the platform —
Android is much more popular in Asia and Africa while iOS is dominant
in the US and particularly in urban areas like Los Angeles, New York City,
Chicago and Miami.

Overall Android has 71% of the market compared to Apple which
accounts for 23% but the IOS environment is generally considered
to provide a better user experience than Android.

Their users spend more time using apps, rate their experience higher,
retain them on their device for longer and most importantly spend
more on apps than Android users. One of the main reasons for
this is that each iOS app has to pass a strict Apple
review process and should conform to a large number of
Apple
review guidelines so while the pay-back may be quicker, this process
can be frustrating, especially if this is your first app project
and you are desperate to get it out there and see people using it.

So what platform should you choose?

The publishing process is much easier on the Android platform,
but probably for that reason there are more apps available in the Play
Store meaning it’s likely to be harder to get your app noticed.

In summary, unless you are determined to launch both platforms at the same
time there is no a simple answer which platform to do first.
Both platforms have pros and cons.

How we develop

We specialise in php programming language
for the backend which is an Industry standard modular platform.
It has wide variety of frameworks that we can use for nearly
for every task we face during web development which can drastically
reduce the time and cost of development.

PHP offers robust solutions for e-commerce, social networking,
admin panel or any other CMS

E-Commerce

Magento, Opencart, Prestashop offers modular features such as shipping and payment options and Discounts and reviews helps to finish e-commerce apps in timely manner.

Admin panel or any other CMS

If you need to present thousands of articles, audio or video files, We can cope with that easily.

Isn’t it irritating when your favorite app stops working
as expected? Did you ever remove it for that reason? Do you
ever un-install bug-ridden apps rather than give them a second chance?
Most of users would answer yes.

Life is just too short to waste time on buggy apps

We care about our customers and respect their time

Every project is carefully checked by our QA team and we use
a robust testing regime built around your app ensuring the team can focus
on building great features instead of playing whack-a-mole with bugs.

Our QA engineers have a perfect understanding of every
major mobile platform and browser and will do load testing and help to find
potential drawbacks and bottlenecks.

UI/UX Design

Nowadays the market is extremely competitive and while an exceptional
design can lead to millions of downloads, just a decent one can
bring you nearly zero. Until a user tries the app, his opinion is based
solely on the design, so the UI (User Interface) and UX (User eXperience)
design should be really, really appealing to give your app a chance to show
what it does.
